What is the most effective method for presenting data in a list format? I've explored using ActiveX controls for the ListBox, but I'm struggling to implement multi-column functionality. It seems that the .List method is not available in FactoryTalk for populating data across different columns. Does anyone have examples or alternative solutions? I’m looking for creative ideas!

Have you considered using a table view or grid control instead of a ListBox? It might provide a more straightforward way to display multi-column data without the hassle of dealing with ActiveX controls. If you're open to it, some platforms support using data binding, which can make it easier to manage and present your data in a clean, organized format. Another option could be to implement a custom user control that mimics the multi-column layout you're aiming for—this way, you can have more flexibility in how you structure and populate your data. Would love to hear how these options work out for you!
